Ever seen this? 'Muslim' Christian destroying the English Vikings and Saxons.

[Dolin]

Out of nowhere, this Zeyd, son of a muslim chief, conquered a random county in Scotland, became a faithfull Christian, kicked out the Vikings who had completely overrun Scotland and Northumbria, formed the Kingdom of Zeydia, went to Saxony, took his second kingdom and replaced all pagan lords with Christians, all the while Catholic Moral Authority was pracitcally 0.

He now has a new bloodline: the Blood of Zeyd.

And I have no idea who it is and how he did it.

Oh, and did I mention his insane martial skills? What on earth.

He's a child of destiny. It's a special event chain where a child gets a crapload of martial bonuses, conquers a kingdom, adopts the local culture and religion, and gains a bloodline that allows launching invasions.

 

[Tuppie]

Yep, it's a child of destiny.

 

[Lewa263]

Huh, I think that's the first time I've seen a Child of Destiny get a nickname other than "the Great".

 

[Orphalesion]

Huh, I think that's the first time I've seen a Child of Destiny get a nickname other than "the Great".

Interestingly his nickname is the Islamic equivalent of "Son of the Devil"...I've never really played Islamic characters, so I'm not sure how a character gets it...

 

[Dragatus]

It may be that he originally was "the Great" and then got a new nickname.

According to the wiki, you get the "Son of (Blank)" epithet by either executing someone while being kinslayer and possessed, or by mutilating a prisoner. I'm guessing he did the latter.

 

[DerGrößteRitter]

That is actually very cool. I have not had a child of destiny yet.

 

[MateuszS]

In my playthrough I had AI West African (area and religion) guy who conquered Aquitany and adopted Basque culture (but retained his faith)

 

[Riftwalker]

i had a christian take iraq from the arabian empire and then go on to conquer most of the persian empire, only for me to call down the wrath of china on them.

I did this because it was set as a female bloodline but the inheritance of all the titles was agnatic.

 

[AjayAlcos]

Yep, it's a child of destiny.

Or in other words...

It's Destiny's Child...

*leaves room*

Well played sir.

 

[Dolin]

UPDATE:

And he's no longer the "saviour of Catholicism"

This guy literally changed his religion three times... From Muslim-Christian-Pagan...

 

[Rags17]

"I must pursue my destiny !"

"Which one ?"

"I haven't decided yet . . ."

 

[Rokh]

"Religion is temporary, glory is forever" or something along those lines.

 

[Castimirr]

I'm reminded of the character from the Mummy.
